Acrylic Painting without Paint Brushes
Project Description: Students will be painting a landscape using tools other than a paint brush and acrylic paint. This will help students explore different painting effects and practice with acrylic paint. Students need to pay attention to the different properties of acrylic paint (how thick is it? how fast does it dry? what happens when you layer paint? mix it?)
What is acrylic paint?
Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints are water-soluble, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted with water, or modified with acrylic gels, mediums, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting, or have its own unique characteristics not attainable with other media.[1] Acrylic paint is typically used for crafting, or in art classes in schools because it does not require any chemicals, and rinses away with just water. It also is less likely to leave a stain on clothes than oil paint.
